Set amidst approximately 1.7 acres of beautifully mature gardens and grounds, The Old Rectory is a distinguished Grade II Listed country home offering over three floors of elegant family accommodation. Combining period grandeur with modern living, this remarkable residence enjoys a peaceful village setting in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside.
